REEL WORLD
by Jeff Gordinier
INDIE JONES You make
a raucous ultralow-budget comedy set on a college campus. You cause a
stir at Sundance and get serious nibbles from distributors, but a deal
is never nailed down. So what do you do? In the case of 1997's Puddle
Cruiser, the filmmakers are hitting the highway, carting the movie from
campus to campus this winter with the Broken Lizard College Rodeo, a Winnebago
road show that also promises stand-up comedy and panel discussions. "It's
an alterantive way of getting our film out to its core audience,"
says producer Rich Perello. "The schools are responsive to the fact
that we haven't been picked up yet." With indie films vying for attention,
Perello believes that similar guerrilla convoys-like 1997's FUEL Tour-offer
solutions to the glut. "There are a lot of really good films that
are just disappearing," he says, "and it's unfortunate." |
